Intisar is exhausted. When the battle for Mosul began in October, she fled in the night with her husband and six children. They finally got to Zelikan camp, now home to over 5,500 displaced Iraqis. 

Like most women, Intisar brought with her painful stories. “[Before ISIS] we had a normal life. They drove it all away. I couldn’t leave my house; they would whip my husband if they ever saw me outside. Before ISIS came, my girls were in school. Afterwards, I didn’t let them leave the house.” Photo: Theresa Breuer/IRC
